YANKS WALLOP ! CHICAGO CUBS FOUR STRAIGHT, Yankees Win Final World Series Game Sunday, 8 To 3 New York. Oct. 10 — (U.P) - Touch second base anti you have the hern and the goat of the 1938 world series. The hero, of course, is a member of the New York Yankees — those awful assassins who have lona something no other bull club ever did — blasted their way to their third consecutive world championship by knocking the I Chicago Cults out of the hall park in four straight games. For the hero. Col. Jacob Ruppert gives you—Joe Gordon, a raw. modest rookie who was nicknamed “Flash" by somebody who' certainly knew what he was talking about. For the goat, the box score ; gives you—Billy Herman, a weak ■ sister at bat all through the series and a blunderer afield whohips were down made -eostly errors when the blue The issue, to a large extent, was won and lost on the men who cover second base for the Yan-' kees and Cubs. Gordon, who by all odds should have been shaking with the jit-, ters because it was his first year in the nig leagues and his first world series, was a ball of fire at bat and a brilliant streak afield. He had a batting average of .400. He knocked in six runs. He hit two doubles and one home run. among ether things. He was involved in two double plays. He stole a base. Yes. he made two errors but he made them the way good ball players commit errors—by going after stuff and trying for throws that your average second baseman would pot stab at. One stop he made close to second base in the first game was one of the great plays of any world series Gordon dived to his

Ho batted a puny I ■ .188 and time after time ho came| I to bat with Hack who was not I slouch In this series — on base I and was unable to do anything ■ bout it. His hitting consisted of 'three anemic singles in tout | j games He struck out four times, i He made two errors and one of them was a heart-breaker for big: Bill l,ee and the Cubs. It was in the second inning of the first game Lee was blowing I ’ the Yankees down and seemed to| be on his way to great things ; George Selkirk hit a trickier be- 1 •ween first and second base and Herman charged the ball On an I ordinary day Herman would have; gobbled it. But last Wednesday l was another day and he handled ' the ball like a first-class juggler i on the old Orpheum circuit. Geh-1 ‘ rjg scored and that was the turn-1 ing point of the ball game. So today th? Yankees are rid- ' ing the crest of baseball and the , bad news is for the seven other | \merican league clubs and the I eight in the National league that j they are likely to be riding it for ' years to come. Manager Joe McCarthy said in i the clubhouse after yesterday's ! i game that he would stand patl : next year Why shouldn’t he. for, with the I exception of first base and a cou-I ■ pie of pitchers, he has a young. ! ambitious team that even yet may , not have risen to the ]>eak of its I newer. Many more will bloom where Joe Gordon came from. Kansas City in the American association and Newark in the International league have just finished playing for the "Little World Championship" The Yan--eks own them both, two teams that ar" the class of the minor leagues and are bulging with brilliant young hall players who are going to play their hearts out for a chance at the big leagues and the money the Yankees can pay The Yankee farm system is so I well organized that next year a young man named Keller from Newark probably will knock one of the current New York outfieldaye mit nf "*9. that whether it s Powell. Selkirk or Hoag who goes, there will be a dozen other major league clubs wafting to grab the man discarded. That's how good the Yankees are. There’s not much that cau be said for the Cubs in this series. ' A good ball dub was beaten by i a great one. and the scores tell I the story Gabby Hartnett fought until the last man was out. but in baseball they pay off on runs, not on spirit. Big Bill Lee, a first. class pitcher, deserved a better | fate in beth games he started. j Next spring will give us the 1 | BailswdF to t ii** quasi ui whetu ' I er this series wrote the end of the saga of Dizzy Dean. He was knocked out of the box in Chi-: cago and yesterday, with the 1 bases loaded at Yankee stadium. I he came slouching through the ■ shadows and was plastered for I a double. If this is the end of i Diz in baseball—and it may well I be —he at least will have plenty! of company down the long, long' trail to obscurity. It will be a : melancholy gang of men who, made the terrible mistake of shaking their fists at the forked lightning called the New York Yankees. The Yanks took the last game. I 8 to 3. Diz was not the only pathetic Cub out there at Yankee stadium where Hartnett used his every resource, mustered every ounce of his team's strength in an effort to stave off the inevitable for one more day ,o_ Grimes Is Discharged As Brooklyn Manager New York.

GREAT RACE IS i PREDICTED FOR BIG TEN TITLE I 1 ■ Minnesota And Ohio State ( o-Favorites In Conference ■ I Chicago. Oct. 10.--(U.R> H events r of the past week-end offer an ac- • curate line on the future, the race : for the 1938 big ten title will bo : u mad scramble to the finish. The first full Saturday of conference competition brought out in f bold relief the fact that Minnesota : I and Ohio State have some high. I wide and handsome battling ahead J of them if they are to maintain ■ their pre-season billing as eo-fav- ' l orites. Michigan. Northwestern and Wis- ' consin shape up as their most serious rivals, and all except Chicago ’ and lowa appear ready to make a dogfight of the title chuse. The real shelling, however, will not begin until Saturday when the cofavorites go to the firing line against the two currently toughest contenders in the circuit — Michigan, which battles .Minnesota, and Northwestern. wTlich meets Ohio States. All but one of Saturday's Tiflir conference conflicts ran true to form. The lone upset was provided by cagey Bob Zuppke "s Illinois i eleven which dealt Indiana its secI ond big ten defeat in as many i weeks. Minnesota's Golden Gophers got I off to a successful defense of their i title by marching 71 yards to a touchdown that gave them a 7-0 triumph over Purdue. Fullback Marty Christianson bucked across from the two-yard line to climax a third-period drive. George Faust added the extra point. Illinois fashioned a 12-2 surprise victory over Indiana on superior line play and by bottling up the Hoosier attack at critical moments Indiana, which has been trying futilely since 1899 to beat Illinois on the latter’s home field, got its only points on an automatic safety tn the second period. An abundance of power gave rejuvenated Michigan a 45-7 victory over Chicago whose inexperienced Ve was no match for the Wolverines. Hapless lowa, seeking its first conference victory since 1935, was defeated, 31-13. by a Wisconsin eleven wltiili seems to have arrived. Bill Schmitz, fleet-footed junior, scored two Wisconsin ’ touchdowns, one on a 66-yard run. In no-cot>ference games; Northwestern which opens it big ten ten , :ynpaign Saturday against Ohio State, walloped Drake, 33-0, and Ohio State was turned back by Southern California, 14-7.

one run in one inning. In short I think Hartnett and j his boys were taking you guys for suckers. Certainly if they know anything I about baseball they didn't entertain any hopes of winning. Look- j ing at it man for man. -as I did several weeks ago when I said that . the series would not be worth 15 cents of anybody's money, the Cubs are children and the Yanks are men. Let us start with the catchers. Hartnett versus Dickey. ( Hartnett, the greate leader, bench- ( ed himself after three games and , gave up. Dickey was the best play'er on the field through the four . games. At first base we had Collins versus Gehrig. Mrs. Collins ' is the only one who choose the former At second base a hog-fat Herman was grateful to walk on the same ground Gordon did. At bjjje an<J were the Cubs super:.>r. Hac k was ! a tremendous player. Rolfe only I a so-so one. Let us pass over the i Cub outfield as quickly as we can. especially gentlemen named Detnaree and Reynolds. The latter is I the only man who can air cool an entire baseball diamond by the wind he stirs up while missing a | third strike. Demaree is a sort of i ! outfielder who can catch only a 1 particular sort of fly ball, the par- j tieular one being one which falls ‘ into his throat and lodges. Against ( this sterling outfield set. the Yankees had Joe DiMaggio. Tommy I Henrich, Hoag and Selkirk. As for the pitching staffs, all I i can say is that more Cub pitchers passed in review than Pershing reviewed in 1917. Let us stop and give the Cubs back to Wrigley and Ford Frick on the outside chance these gentlemen will have them. (Copyright 1938 by UP.) o | Trade In A Town — Decatn:

THREE UPSETS IN PRO MMES Bears, Packers And Redskins Are Defeated Sunday •By United Press) A wide open battle for titles in i both the eastern and western di- : visions of the national professionI al football league seemed certain loday as one day of battling scrambled up the standings j Os the four games played yesterday. three Were distinct upsets The biggest surprise was when i the Chicago Bears, leaders of the western division, lost their firs* ! game of the season to the Cleveland Rams, 14-7. The Bears still remained In the lead but right in i back of them were the Detroit Lions who contributed an upaet by licking the Green Bay Packers. 177. They moved into second place i and Green Bay dropped to third. Cleveland is fourth while fifth- ' place Chicago’s Cardinals did n<7l I play.

To dachau!” Dachau is the great German concentartion camp. Police were watchful They kept the crowds moving and arrested one man who shouted: "Innitzer is a swine!" Cardinal Innitzer remained under guard in his palace. An official spokesman explained that he was not under “protective" or any other sort of custody by the nazis—that the guards of crack black uniformed “SS" bodyguards in and about the palace were there solely to protect him and preserve order. That the cardinal was not under any form of detention or in any sort of custody was unsubstantiated despite earlier reports, by a placard posted at the main entrance to the cathedral, announcing that he would speak Thursday at the last of a series of five Bible study ’ hours inaugurated yesterday. Cardinal Innitzer celebrated a at Tne cat neural yesterday, ms attendance confirmed the statement of spokesmen that he was not personally injured in Saturday night's riot.
